Louisiana Citizens Horrified that there’s Evolution in Science Books

Religious Dispatches reports:

A group of Louisiana citizens, believed to be backed by the conservative Christian Louisiana Family Forum, are attacking the state's proposed biology textbooks because, well, they teach too much evolution.

The Baton Rouge Advocate reported this week that a state panel is scheduled to review the issue Friday after the state's school board held off adopting the biology I and biology II textbooks due to the complaints.

Winston White, one of the residents who complained about the books, said, "It's like Charles Darwin and his theory is a saint. You can't touch it." MORE
